SCOTT SINCLAIR is aiming to kick-on for the climax of the campaign – after admitting he’s got his confidence back.

And he insisted the nature of their straightforward 3-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers shows the same can be said about Swansea City.

The Swans headed into the clash with Steve Kean’s strugglers desperate for a win to end a four-game losing streak, if not to jump over that 40-point barrier.

But, in large part thanks to arguably Sinclair’s best performance of the season, the win came with relative ease as the winger had a hand in all three goals.

His mazy run to set up the third – a Scott Dann own-goal – was typical Sinclair, something that has not always been as forthcoming in the Premier League as it had been in the Championship.

And the England hopeful acknowledged that he felt full of confidence as the side rediscovered their winning belief.

He said: “We were determined to win that. After losing all those games coming into this one we knew we had to win.

“It was a bad patch and the manager had told us we were disappointing against QPR and we weren’t ourselves, but he wanted us to have the character to turn it around and make sure we got that three points today

“We had a meeting with him a couple of days before to sit down and talk about how the season has gone. Now you have seen all the confidence in the players. We just wanted to win that game badly.

“It felt like a must-win game and now you saw that our confidence is back. I think it’s the same with my own form and you could see it.”

When asked whether such confidence from the side could lead to overtaking another point landmark in 50 for a debut year – meaning eight points from the final 12 on offer – Sinclair said: “That’s definitely something we can aim for if we keep going from this. The confidence is definitely high all around the camp so I don’t see why not.

“We are safe now and everyone is buzzing. I think now there is not much pressure on us so we can go on and enjoy the rest of the season. Obviously we want to go as high up as we can in the league.”

Sinclair admitted Gylfi Sigurdsson could have a big hand in helping Swansea achieve that aim after another impressive and goalscoring outing from the on-loan Icelander. And he added his name to the list of players keen for Sigurdsson to stay in South Wales next season.

He said: “Gylfi has made a massive impact. He has come in, gone into that little hole and he is scoring goals and setting them up. He has been a great addition to the side and hopefully we can keep him for next season, but we will wait and see how it goes.”
